Like Coolbrze I also have a Marlin 336 in .35 Remington that I shot my first buck with years ago. I have been using my 7mm Rem Mag primarily since my youth on big open fields but have been wanting to shoot the .35 again for nostalgic reasons and also because it is a very effective round if not shooting too far. I have been using the Hornady Leverevolution ammo with great results.
